Portrait of the Comtesse de Montsoreau and Her Sister as Diana and an Attendant 1714

Nicolas de Largillière's "Portrait of the Comtesse de Montsoreau and Her Sister as Diana and an Attendant" (1714) is a stunning example of Rococo portraiture. The painting depicts the Comtesse, identified by her crescent moon symbol, as the Roman goddess of the hunt Diana, while her sister, wearing a flowing red robe, is portrayed as one of Diana's attendants. The sisters' elegant poses, the soft lighting, and the richly detailed landscape create a captivating and romantic scene. This piece highlights Largillière's mastery of capturing the aristocratic elegance of the French court.
